Event: Workshop on “The Criminal Justice System and Social Exclusion: Race, Ethnicity, and Gender”

Please join the National Academies’ Committee on Law and Justice for a workshop discussing the relationship between the criminal justice system and social exclusion, with a special focus on differences across race, gender, and ethnicity.

Sessions will address issues such as the following:
• How do disparities in criminal justice processing put people at differential risk for exposure to collateral consequences of criminal justice system involvement, broadly defined?
• How are the consequences of criminal justice system involvement experienced differently across racial/gendered/ethnic lines?
• What are the ways in which elements of criminal justice (policing, sentencing, prison policies, policies about felony convictions) contribute to social exclusion of individuals or communities?
• What is known about actual and aspirational policies and practices to reduce social exclusion resulting from criminal justice system involvement?

This workshop is sponsored by the Nathan Cummings Foundation and will be hosted April 3-4 starting at 9am EST. You can also plug in via webcam. To register click HERE.
